About Us

The Las Cruces Lodge #8, of the Fraternal Order of Police, is an organization of local, state and federal law enforcement officers, correctional officers, probation and parole officers, both actively serving and retired. Lodge #8 is affiliated with the New Mexico State Lodge and Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police. We strive to create better working conditions for members of the law enforcement profession not only through bargaining unions but as the voice for law enforcement at the New Mexico legislative sessions. We strive to create positive relationships within our community through lodge sponsored events such as Shop With a Cop and other community activities and sponsorships.
